Battle of Jinyang

The introduction of Jinyang: smell the chicken and dance

In 289 A.D. (the tenth year of Taikang), the twenty-four-year-old Zu Ti was promoted as filial piety by Yangping County, and was promoted as Xiucai by Si Li, and served as the lord of Sizhou.

After Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan in Hanzhong, Liu Kun, who was the same sect as Liu Bei, the Zhaolie Emperor of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms!

This year, Liu Kun was only twenty years old!

Zu Ti and Liu Kun can be described as teenagers who have the same interests, often collapse together, sleep on their feet, and often discuss current affairs together and comment on the world.

Once the two chatted, Liu Kun asked Zu Ti: "If the world is in chaos, Shizhi, what do you want?!" ”

Zu Ti looked at Liu Kun's hot eyes and said calmly: "Help the world and ask for your life for the people!" ”

Liu Kun was not satisfied with Zu Ti's answer, so he continued to ask tentatively: "If the princes are divided, you and I will each lead an army, what can we do?" ”

When Zu Ti heard this, he didn't answer immediately, but became silent, he looked at Liu Kun and didn't say a word......

Liu Kun didn't seem to care about Zu Qi's silence, and said generously: If the princes really rise up and chase the Central Plains, if I belong to each family with you, and you don't want to obey me, I will also retreat first! ”

Hearing this, Zu Ti suddenly raised his head, glanced at Liu Kun for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "I bought a rooster yesterday, this chicken is different from other chickens, it can crow an hour earlier, since you and I have the desire to help the world, it is better to get up at the moment when the rooster crows, practice martial arts, and wait for the opportunity, what do you think?" ”

Liu Kun didn't expect that Zu Ti had already planned, and what he said was exactly what he wanted, and this Zu Ti could even come up with such a solution, so he immediately burst out laughing.

Seeing that Liu Kun was smiling so sincerely, Zu Ti also laughed out loud!

The friendship between the two has also deepened, and from then on, as long as the rooster crows, Liu Kun and Zu Di will smell the rooster and dance, sharpen their ambitions together, and exercise their martial arts!

I don't want to, the years have gone by, and twenty-one years have passed, and the jokes of young people with similar righteousness have come true!

The world is really in chaos! The "Eight Kings Rebellion" that lasted for 14 years has not completely ended, which has been entrenched in the Great Wall since the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the Hu people have also begun to swarm and riot, especially the Xiongnu, Qian, Xianbei, Qiang, and Di five tribes, but also took advantage of the time when the elite of the Central Plains was exhausted, showing their sharp fangs to the people of the Central Plains, and the Wuhu Chaos began!

In 310 AD, outside the city of Jinyang, has been surrounded by the large army of the Xiongnu Han State, the food shortage in Jinyang City, the shortage of soldiers, the life of the people is even more miserable, and the archers of the Xiongnu of the Han State are still in the Jinyang City day and night into a large number of arrows, Jinyang City is in danger!

And just when the people in Jinyang City were panicked and the will to resist was the weakest, a figure appeared on the wall of Jinyang City, he silently took out a mustache from his arms, pursed his lips a little dry, and glanced at the dense Huns outside the city!

The Huns' men and horses also saw this sudden figure, and they shouted, cursed, and even kept shooting arrows in his direction!

In the face of the clamor and arrows, he did not have a trace of nervousness and fear, and even chuckled a few times, he put the mustache to his lips, and a sad and tactful but strong and unyielding song drifted away with the wind, and the inside and outside of Jinyang City seemed to become extremely quiet all of a sudden!

All the people, whether they are the Xiongnu or the common people of Jinyang, are listening to this song, this song played by Liu Kun and Liu Yueshi, one of the "Twenty-four Friends of the Golden Valley", seems to have a magical appeal, and in an instant, everyone forgot that time was lost, and the whole world became extremely quiet......

After playing a piece of Hu Ji, Liu Kun looked at the Huns outside the city, and said softly as if talking to himself: "Zu Li, Zu Li, have you heard my song?!" ”

After Liu Kun finished saying this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth......

Suddenly, Liu Kun shouted loudly outside the city: "Zu Li! Did you hear it, if I, Liu Kun, die in this Jinyang City today, you must avenge me one day! Hahahaha, I think I, Liu Kun, have been waiting for the Emperor, Zhi Xiao is rebellious, I don't want to be besieged in Jinyang City by this group of Huns, this time it seems that I really want to go one step ahead of your ancestors! Hahahaha"

The opening of the Battle of Jinyang: Liu Yuan's plan

The year before the Battle of Jinyang, that is, in 309 A.D. (the third year of Yongjia)

Spring, the first month, the first day of the new year, Mars passed through the Ziwei constellation, and the Taishi Ling of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom said to Liu Yuan, the monarch of the Han Kingdom: "When you look at the sky, the Western Jin Dynasty will be exhausted, and in less than three years, you will definitely be able to conquer Luoyang!" ”

Liu Yuan had already had the ambition of leveling the Central Plains and eliminating the Western Jin Dynasty, and as he got older, the desire for the imperial capital of Luoyang in his heart became stronger and stronger......

Tai Shiling was a shrewd person, and he knew Liu Yuan's ambition in his heart, so when he saw him silently looking at the direction of Puzi in the capital, he spoke again: "Your Majesty, Puzi is rugged and uneven, it cannot be lived for a long time, and it is not convenient to control all the princes, but Pingyang is ......different."

"Oh? What's the difference? ”

"Pingyang (now Linfen City, Shanxi Province), located in the lower reaches of the Fen River, here is connected to Shangdang in the east, the Yellow River in the west, Chenliu in the south, Luoyang, and Jinyang in the north.

"Since ancient times?"

"It's the conspiracy of Shang Ying and Qin Xiaogong!"

"Hehe, whoever gets Pingyang gets the Qin State? Those who get Pingyang get the Wei country? ”

"Exactly, whoever gets Binh Duong can destroy the other side!"

When Liu Yuan heard this, he didn't say another word, he waved his hand, and Tai Shi Ling retreated by himself.

Liu Yuan looked at the map for a long time, and slowly muttered: "Those who have Pingyang have Luoyang!" ”

Since then, Liu Yuan moved the capital to Pingyang, and used it as a base to loot everywhere, disturbing the entire Central Plains!

And the rulers of the Western Jin Dynasty were still fighting among themselves at this time, and it was intensifying!

On March 18, 309 AD, Taifu Sima Yue entered Beijing, listened to the words of Liu Yu (Liu Kun's brother), Wang Dun (Wang Dao's brother) and Pan Tao, and sent Wang Bing, the general of Pingdong, to lead 3,000 armored soldiers to break into the palace, and killed many cronies loyal to the emperor in front of Emperor Huai of Jin.

Since then, all the government has been in the hands of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, who proclaimed himself prime minister and concurrently served as the prince, and sent soldiers from the East China Sea Kingdom under his fiefdom to serve as palace guards.

Although Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, mastered the government, but the political situation was still turbulent, the frontier general Zhu Dan rebelled, and attached to the Xiongnu Han State, he told Liu Yuan in detail about the military strength and grain and grass situation around Luoyang, Liu Yuan immediately sent the general Liu Jing as the governor of the capital, and gave him the title of the general of the Jin Dynasty, and Zhu Dan sent troops to attack the Western Jin Dynasty for the forward governor.

Along the way, Liu Jing's army captured Liyang at a very fast speed, and defeated Wang Kan at the Yanjin Ferry, brutally killing the soldiers and the local people, including the old and the young, women and children, all of them and sank into the Yellow River!

And because of Liu Jing's crazy murderous policy, it also led to strong resistance from the local people, especially through the activities and resistance of the beggar army, Liyang and other places temporarily returned to the hands of the Western Jin Dynasty.

When Liu Yuan found out, he was furious, he really wanted to destroy the Jin, but he did not ask to kill the Jin people, especially the common people, but Liu Yuan did not kill Liu Jing because of this, but only demoted his official position.

It is said that the news that Liu Jing killed more than 30,000 Jin people made the entire Pingyang City boil, especially the Xiongnu and the Qian, who were the most excited, but there were also some people who chose to remain silent, they were the Qiang people who were recruited by Liu Yuan from all over the country.

Liu Yuan once set up a single Yutai system to settle them, and it is said that there are a total of six Yi in Pingyang City, among which the Di people are the most numerous, and their status is also the most noble. There are more than 100,000 households, that is to say, according to the calculation of five people in one household, Liu Yuan's single Yutai should have more than 600,000 people, and they are one of the main forces that attacked Jinyang later.

And in the face of the excitement of the Huns and the Xiongnu people, Liu Yuan also has a sense of helplessness and powerlessness, compared to these people, Liu Yuan's vision is more long-term, he relied on the blood relationship between the Huns and the Han Dynasty royal family since ancient times, posthumously honored Liu Chan as the emperor of filial piety, and built the god seat of the three ancestors and five ancestors of the Han Dynasty Gaozu for sacrifice, the country name is also called Han, the purpose is to obtain the foundation of eternity, win over the ignorant people, and play the banner of destroying the Jin and restoring the Han, not only to tell others their legitimacy, It is also for his descendants to truly gain a foothold in the Central Plains, but his own wishes have been completely destroyed by his own people, and the Xiongnu and the Central Plains people will no longer be able to coexist peacefully because of this matter! Hatred will not be forgotten for at least a few decades.

And the disposal of Liu Jing made Liu Yuan even more helpless, because Liu Jing's approach did not represent one person, but almost the entire upper echelons of the Han Kingdom, so Liu Yuan could only curse Liu Jing for a while and demoted him, but in the end of Liu Yuan's life, under Liu Yuan's rule, there was never such a large-scale massacre of innocent people!

Although Liu Jing failed, the Xiongnu Han did not lose much, but because of the earlier plunder, a lot of wealth was made, so stimulated, the Xiongnu Han attack on the Western Jin Dynasty became more frequent and fierce.

Shi Le, the general of the Han Dynasty, attacked Julu and Changshan, and the troops had reached more than 100,000 people, and no one was invincible for a while!

After Shi Le had this army, he formed a very famous gentleman's battalion in later generations, and Zhang Bin was his mastermind.

At the same time, Liu Yuan, the monarch of the Han State, sent Wang Mi as the general of the expedition to the east, Qingzhou Mu, the capital governor Qing, Xu, Yan, Yu, Jing, and Yang Zhujun!

He also sent Liu Cong, the king of Chu, to lead Wang Mi and Shi Le to attack Huguan together.

Facing the menacing Huns, Liu Kun sent Huang Su and Han Shu to rescue Huguan, but unfortunately, they were outnumbered and both were killed!

When the news reached Luoyang, the government and the opposition were shocked, and Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, hurriedly dispatched Huainan Neishi Wang Kuang, generals Shi Rong, and Cao Chao to lead the army to resist Liu Cong's army.

I don't want to, the main general Wang Kuang was stubborn for his own use, did not listen to Shi Rong's advice, gave up waiting for the opportunity to move in a dangerous place, but directly fought with the Hun cavalry in Changping, infantry against cavalry, and in a wilderness like Changping that is suitable for large armies to fight, Wang Kuang's army was almost completely destroyed!

What is singing and crying is that in this battle, none of the generals of the Western Jin Dynasty surrendered, and all of them died in battle!

Liu Cong then took advantage of the victory to pursue, broke through Tunliu, the eldest son, killed and captured 19,000 people, and the party guarded Pang Chun to sacrifice the pot pass and surrender to the Xiongnu.

Liu Kun had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat to Xiangyuan and insist on resisting.

Since then, Shangdang, Huguan has been occupied by the Huns, and Liu Yuan, who occupies Huguan Tianwei, can finally put all his energy into the plan to go south to Luoyang!

And what made Liu Yuan even happier was that Liu Hu, the Tiefu Hun, brought Baibu Xianbei to submit to him, which made Liu Yuan's Han Kingdom even stronger!

After Tiefu Liu Hu and Bai Bu Xianbei returned to the Han Kingdom, they were stationed in Xinxing County, not far from Jinyang!

How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch!?

Liu Kun immediately led his troops to attack Liu Hu, not wanting to at this time, Liu Cong suddenly transferred his troops back to the division and directly attacked Jinyang, but fortunately, the Jinyang guard Ling Husheng insisted on resisting, so Liu Cong did not succeed.

But in this way, the form of the Tiefu Xiongnu in the north and the Han Xiongnu in the south has made Jinyang, where Liu Kun is located, fall into an unfavorable form of being attacked by the north and the south.

If Liu Kun wants to gain a foothold in the north, he can only rely on the power of the east and the west, but in the northwest is the more powerful Tuoba Xianbei, and in the east is Wang Jun, who has always had a heart of disobedience, Liu Kun's life is getting more and more sad!

Battle of Jinyang II: The crisis intensifies

In August 309 AD, with the Tiefu Xiongnu containing Liu Kun, Liu Yuan, the monarch of the Han State, finally made up his mind to complete his wish to destroy the Jin Dynasty before he died!

Ignoring the fact that after several major battles, the people needed to resume production and the soldiers needed to retrain and recuperate, Liu Yuan once again issued an edict ordering the whole army to start attacking again!

Liu Yuan first ordered Liu Cong, the king of Chu, to lead his troops to attack Luoyang, and then sent Shi Le to attack the men and horses of Wang Jun, the assassin of Jizhou in the Western Jin Dynasty.

The news that Liu Yuan was going to raise troops to destroy Jin reached Luoyang, and the government and the opposition were shocked again!

Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, pretended to edict the emperor Yuxi, and ordered the Pingbei general Cao Wu and others to lead the army to resist Liu Cong's army, but unfortunately, Liu Cong's army galloped vertically and horizontally, invincible, Cao Wu's army was defeated and died, and Liu Cong's army continued to go all the way south and approached Luoyang!

At this time, Liu Kun also received the news that Liu Yuan, the monarch of the Han State, sent troops to attack Luoyang, but Liu Kun could not free his hands at all now, Liu Hu and Baibu Xianbei of the Tiefu Xiongnu had been constantly harassing his territory and the state, and the situation was very passive, Liu Kun at this time was unable to send troops to contain the Han Xiongnu!

In the blink of an eye, Liu Cong's army has already killed Hongnong!

Just when it seemed that the army was defeated, a miracle appeared, and Liu Cong, who had been advancing all the way, became arrogant and arrogant because of the successive victories along the way, and even agreed to Hongnong Taishou's fraudulent surrender.

At night, Liu Cong took a big sip of wine and a big mouthful of meat in Hongnong City, he indulged himself and all his subordinates to enjoy the night and night singing, he even declared that as long as his king arrived in Luoyang, the Jin Huai Emperor would open the city and surrender, and the invincible King of the East China Sea, Sima Yue, would also kneel to greet him, everything seemed to be very beautiful, Liu Cong had even started, the first to capture Luoyang's dream!

But a dream is always a dream, once the dream wakes up, it is already early in the morning, at this time Liu Cong and his people have been drunk because they are full of wine and food, not to mention the vigilance, there are few people who can stand up!

At this moment, Hongnong, who had surrendered by fraud, took advantage of the night and led Hongnong's loyal people to attack Liu Cong!

It was also this Liu Cong's life that should not have been extinguished, he was rescued by his subordinates, and Liu Cong did not bring all the men and horses into the city, and finally avoided the annihilation of the whole army, but he was still defeated and returned to Pingyang, and fled north back to Pingyang!

It's a pity that Hongnong Taishouyuan died of a serious illness not long after......

And on the other hand, Shile also suffered the biggest fiasco in his life!

In the battle of Feilong Mountain, Shi Le, who had Zhang Bin, the first strategist at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, broke out in a cold sweat on his head and feet when he faced the combined forces of Wang Jun, the Taishou of Jizhou and the Xianbei army of the Duan clan!

Under the sun, the white dazzling horse armor appeared under the hillside!

Shiler's bow and arrows could not penetrate these sturdy horse armor, and the first round of bows and arrows shot in front of these hoplites was completely ineffective!

And this battle also made Shi Le know the gap between himself and these big princes, not only because his men and horses were some unrestrained bandits, rabble, but more importantly, Shi Le knew how terrible Xianbei with heavy cavalry was! This also directly led to Shiler's caution in the confrontation with Xianbei in the north in the future!

As a fledgling Zhang Bin was also shocked by the scene in front of him, he also did not expect that the nomadic tribe could have horse armor and heavy cavalry, but this failure made Zhang Bin gain the most is not the strength of these horse armor, but Zhang Bin clearly understood the importance of having a strong rear, he must completely change Shile, an army that has no fixed place like locusts, and the premise of change is to have a solid rear, so that he can develop production and develop military strength, Only then can we lay the foundation for the future of the world.

Shile was defeated and retreated, but he swore that he would return to avenge the arrow!

And Liu Yuan, who was in Pingyang, after learning that his two armies were defeated and returned, seemed to be much older all of a sudden, how many years of planning he spent, how many forced conscriptions of the people, all to destroy the Jin, but this Western Jin Dynasty is like a candle in the wind, it looks like it is about to be extinguished, but it is not extinguished......

Liu Yuan sat weakly on his dragon chair, he looked down at the palace he was in, and these ministers who were still blowing their beards and staring, Liu Yuan slowly took a deep breath and glanced at the attendants beside him.

As soon as the chamberlain saw Liu Yuan's hint, he immediately shouted to the ministers: "Retreat from the court!" ”

Only two months later, the winter in the north is the saddest day for these Huns, there is a shortage of materials and food, but the population is still so large! If you don't rob the Jin Dynasty, how will you spend this winter?!

Those nobles of the Han Kingdom, although they have experienced several defeats in the Jin campaign, but the rich land and beautiful women of the Jin Kingdom still haunt their dreams!

When they went to court once, they all knelt in front of Liu Yuan and handed over the fold!

In the past two months, Liu Yuan's life has not been easy, and he feels that his body is becoming more and more inflexible, especially since he often gets sick because of some small wind and cold, and he is sick for many days, which was absolutely impossible before.

The most important thing is that Liu Yuan found that there seemed to be a little blood in his cough......

Liu Yuan knew very well that he was dying, but Luoyang in the Western Jin Dynasty was just around the corner, just a little bit away, as long as he used a little more force, he could become the first foreign emperor to capture Luoyang! He hated it so much, hated why Cangtian couldn't give himself a little more time, as long as there were two more years, or a year, he would definitely be able to completely destroy the already decaying Western Jin Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Liu Yuan took the folds handed over by these noble ministers, and looked at it carefully, coughing violently as he watched......

Slowly, Liu Yuan closed the fold, and he glanced at Liu Cong, Liu Yao, who was standing below, and Liu Jing, who had postponed his plan for many years!

Liu Yuan glanced at Liu Jing deeply, and his eyes slowly became a little complicated......

"Zhao, Liu Cong, King of Chu!"

"The minister is here!"

"Liu Yao, King of Shi'an!"

"The minister is here!"

"And ...... Liu Jing, King of Ruyin! ”

"The minister is here! Your Majesty! ”

"Order you and the other three to lead 50,000 troops, set off on Keri, and attack Luoyang! Be sure to conquer it! ”

Hearing Liu Yuan's edict, the ministers were all boiling, these three people are the three giants of the Han Kingdom, as soon as the three of them come out, Luoyang is almost captured! The large amount of gold and silver treasures, and the countless beautiful singers, seemed to be about to gush in, and the ministers were not only cheering, but also thinking in their hearts about recommending their relatives to the army!

You know, not only Liu Yuan himself knows that his time is short, but which of these ministers is not a human spirit? They have long seen that Liu Yuan's limit is approaching, and Liu Cong, the king of Chu, and Liu Yao, the king of Shi'an, are both powerful giants in the Han Kingdom, and now Liu Yuan is still willing to hand over the army to these few people in such a physical situation, what does this mean?

Many people's hearts are as clear as a mirror! If you want to hug your thighs, please take it early!

On October 21, 309 AD, Liu Cong's army had already entered Yiyang!

Luoyang was shocked!

Emperor Huai of Jin couldn't sleep at night, couldn't sit on food, and constantly sent people to ask Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, about the national policy!

Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, also has black lines on his head, why is he so uncomfortable this day? Originally, Jinyang Liu Kun could definitely contain the pace of the Han Kingdom, but I don't know how, a Tiefu Liu Hu and Bai Bei Xianbei jumped out, and the sword that he placed on the head of the Xiongnu Han State was completely useless, not to mention, it became a burden, and he divided a lot of his troops in vain! And Wang Jun of Jizhou no longer listens to his own calls, and there are no soldiers to send in his hands, and there are no generals available!

Just when Sima Yue was a little anxious, Sima Yue suddenly remembered a person, his mastermind Liu Yu.

But now Liu Yu is terminally ill and can't go to the ground at all!

Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, looked up to the sky and sighed, looked at the sky, and said sadly: "Why did I make my Liu Yu so seriously ill at this time?" ”

October 26, 309 A.D

Liu Cong's army was already stationed on the edge of the Ximing Gate in Luoyang!

At this time, Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, was already helpless, was Luoyang about to be captured by Hu Lu in his own hands?

The situation was urgent, and the only mastermind that Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, could rely on, was Liu Yu, so Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, still set off to Liu Yu's residence to ask about countermeasures.

In Liu Yu's mansion, Liu Yu's head was bandaged with a headcloth to remove fire, and some ice water was placed in the cloth to cool down.

Liu Yu's whole person is listless, and his fingers are also swollen badly, it is said that Liu Yu's illness is because he was scratched by a knife when he was engraving, and he doesn't want to become such a serious illness!

Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, saw Liu Yu like this, and sighed infinitely in his heart, this Qingsun, who was called "Luozhong Yiyi" by the world together with Liu Kun, where else did he have a little celebrity demeanor? He looks like an old man on the verge of decay......

Liu Yu saw Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, who was coming, and knew very well his intention to come, so he struggled to get up and said, "King, Qingsun has a plan to break the enemy!" ”

Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, knew that Liu Yu had already had a countermeasure, so he hurriedly sat on Liu Yu's collapse, supported Liu Yu, and asked eagerly: "Will the plan be released?" ”

"Today, you can send someone to hang the war-free card in Ximingmen, the thief has not encountered much resistance all the way, he is already an arrogant soldier, and then he sees us hanging the war-free card, he will definitely underestimate the enemy and relax his defense, and Liu Cong is a proud and arrogant fool, he will inevitably underestimate the enemy, and then tonight, after midnight, the prime minister can send General Beigong to lead an army that dares to die, and launch a night attack when Liu Cong is negligent...... Ahem......"

Sima Yue saw Liu Yu's haggard body, and his heart was also full of mixed feelings, over the years, no matter how dangerous the situation was, no matter how serious the situation was, Qingsun had always been by his side, giving advice for himself, and there was really no day to rest well with his own days......

Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, nodded solemnly and agreed with Liu Yu's plan to arrange for Beigong Chun to fight.

And Beigong Chun, who was sent over by Xiliang Zhang Rail, was simply excited after receiving the order of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, to attack Liu Cong, the king of Chu of the Han State at night, tonight!

And Liu Cong, who was stationed outside the Ximing Gate, really became proud and arrogant after seeing the war-free card hanging high on the Luoyang City Gate, and the old mistake of underestimating the enemy was committed again!

But Zhang Bin, Shi Le's subordinate strategist who was also in the army, saw something strange, after all, who would hang any war-free card when other people's soldiers came to the city? Could it be that when someone wants to beat you, they will still care about whether you are sick or not? Obviously, someone is using a ploy to be arrogant!

But Zhang Bin only told Shi Le, not Liu Cong, and when it was night, Zhang Bin instructed Shi Le to find an excuse from Liu Cong, hypothetizing that he was going to guard the military food center placed on the edge of Luoshui for Liu Cong, and Liu Cong was on the rise, and he didn't want to see these lowly people, and he felt disgusted when he saw them, so he agreed to his request and let Shi Le leave the camp alone and go to Luoshui to see the grain!

That night, Beigong Chun only led more than a thousand dead soldiers to kill Liu Cong's camp outside the city!

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry was really powerful, the walls of the Han army were almost empty, and the torches in the sky were thrown into the sky, and then fell like raindrops on the various tents of Liu Cong's army, and the firelight instantly illuminated the entire sky!

The general of the Han Kingdom, Hu Yanyi, Hu Yanhao died in battle.

After Liu Cong fled in a hurry, he also moved closer to the edge of Luoshui where Shile was located, and then slowly gathered the remnants of the army, because the grain and grass were still there, so Liu Cong decided to continue to besiege Luoyang City.

The first day of November in 309 A.D

Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, stood on the wall of Luoyang and looked out of the city, he saw that Liu Cong's men and horses still did not retreat, so he continued to surround the city according to Liu Yu's strategy, waiting for reinforcements, waiting for the opportunity.

And Liu Cong on the edge of Luoshui was also flustered because of this tragic lesson, he felt that he was not far from Songshan, so he ran to Songshan to pray, leaving the general of Pingjin, Liu Li, the king of Anyang, and the champion general Hu Yanlang.

Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea who received the news, listened to Sun Xun, who joined the army, and Liu Yu's advice, took advantage of Liu Cong's absence in the camp, and attacked Liu Cong's camp again by night, killed Hu Yanlang, and forced Liu Li to throw himself into the Yellow River and die!

With this fire, there is not much left of the military rations hoarded by Liu Cong and Shi Le!

Luoyang was boiling, the Huns who had no food failed again, and Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, was praised as a hero in the court and the opposition!

However, Liu Yu, the confidant of Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea and Liu Kun's brother, died of a serious illness on this fiery victory night......

On the other hand, Liu Yuan sent Wang Mi to support Liu Cong, and when he didn't want Wang Mi to come, it was already time for Liu Cong to be defeated!

Facing the fiasco of Liu Cong, Wang Mi persuaded and said: "Wang, now that you have lost, Luoyang is still impregnable, the transport vehicles are still in Shaanxi County, and the grain can only last for more than ten days, let's withdraw!" Luoyang is in a hurry! ”

Liu Cong looked at Wang Mi, the traitor of the Jin people, angrily, and said angrily: "What do you know? I made a military order in front of His Majesty, if I can't take Luoyang, my head will not be guaranteed, do you understand! ”

Hearing this, Wang Mi knew the reason why Liu Cong refused to withdraw even if he failed, and it turned out that he was afraid of death.

Therefore, Wang Mi immediately sent a letter to the secretary and quickly sent it to the Taishi Ling of the Han Kingdom who was far away in Pingyang.

After Tai Shiling found out, he immediately told Liu Yuan, the monarch of the Han State, about the situation.

After Liu Yuan learned the news of another big defeat, his whole person was a little unable to stand......

Tai Shi Ling didn't know what to say when he saw Liu Yuan like this, so he could only wait quietly to the side, waiting for Liu Yuan to speak by himself.

Liu Yuan did feel very tired, his cough intensified, and he even spit out a mouthful of blood!

Such a scene suddenly frightened Tai Shiling!

Under the treatment of the imperial doctor, Liu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, he summoned Taishi Ling again, and said: "Xuan Yu, you draft the decree for me!" ”

"Yes!"

"Edict, after Liu Cong received the holy decree, he returned to the court on the same day, without delay, and then ordered Wang Mi to stand by in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and Shi Le to clear the Wubao near the Yellow River, and be sure to recruit a large number of people and horses, and hoard food to wait for the opportunity!"

In this way, although the Han State failed in this attack, the east side of Luoyang was also controlled by the Han State!

This also means that not only Jinyang and Luoyang have lost contact, but both Jinyang and Luoyang have become precarious!

November 20, 309 A.D

Liu Cong, the king of Chu of the Han Kingdom, and Liu Yao, the king of Shi'an, returned to Pingyang.

And Wang Mi continued to attack to the southeast, and after arriving at Yingchuan, tens of thousands of homeless people in Xiangcheng, Runan, Nanyang, and Henan were persecuted by the local county commander Taishou and rich households, so they burned down the city together, killed Taishou and the county order, robbed the rich households, and surrendered to Wang Mi!

Since then, although Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, and the Western Jin Dynasty have won this battle, the roads leading to Luoyang in the east and north have also been completely destroyed, and Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, has no way to send any support to Liu Kun in Jinyang!

Battle of Jinyang III: Liu Cong succeeded to the throne

In 310 A.D. (the fourth year of Yongjia), spring, the first month, the first day of the new year

Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, asked for amnesty to the world to comfort the people.

But then, Shile, who had been strengthening his strength by annexing various dock forts, came out of the mountain again!

Shi Le, the general of the Han Dynasty, crossed the Yellow River and captured the White Horse, and Wang Mi also led an army of 30,000 to join him and attack Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou together!

And Zhang Bin, who is well versed in the art of war, saw that the Central Plains was already in chaos, and once again the immortals showed the way and whipped Jizhou!

Wang Jun didn't expect that the southern territory under his jurisdiction would suddenly be attacked, and in the entire southern part of Jizhou, more than 90,000 people would join Shile!

The north is tight, and at this point, Liu Kun has almost lost all the strength that can help him!

Between May and July of 310 AD, a large locust plague occurred in You, He, Si, Hebei, Qin, and Yongliu Prefectures that lasted for three months, and even the grass and trees and even the hair on cattle and horses were eaten!

And Liu Kun's state is the most serious locust plague!

However, something happened next that also relieved Liu Kun

On July 18, 310 AD, Liu Yuan, the monarch of the Han State, died, and the crown prince Liu He ascended the throne of the Han Emperor.

It's a pity that Liu Cong and Liu Yao, the princes who hold the army in their hands, how can they obey the orders of a hairy child in this troubled world? !

Killing each other was naturally unavoidable, and after a fierce fight, Liu Cong finally ascended the throne of the monarch of the Han Kingdom! And as the monarch of the new generation of Xiongnu Han Kingdom, Liu Cong, like Liu Yuan, the Western Jin Dynasty that brought him endless shame is still the biggest pain in his heart!

But if you want to have no worries at all, you have to annex the state first, but Liu Kun, who is too guarded by the state, is a hard bone that can't be gnawed, Liu Cong suddenly remembered a person, Shi Le!

At this time, Shi Le also happened to be in Bingzhou, after the death of Liu Yuan, the monarch of the Han State, he did not participate in much of the battle between the royal families, but he followed Zhang Bin's advice, and gave a lot of military assistance early when Liu Cong had not succeeded to the throne, so after Liu Cong succeeded to the throne, he was grateful to Shi Le.

Therefore, Liu Cong remembered Shi Le in Bingzhou, and he knew that Shi Le had just plundered a large number of people and materials in Jizhou, and it was when the soldiers were strong and strong, and it was really good to send Shi Le's men and horses to deal with Liu Kun.

However, Shi Le, who received the edict of Liu Cong, the monarch of the Han State, became worried......

Liu Kun and Liu Yueshi's name, Shi Le is like thunder!

Zhang Bin (the word Mengsun) on the side also saw Shi Le's sorrowful eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and persuaded: "The general is worried about attacking and annexing the state?

"Yes, today's annex is the time when the locusts are all over the place, and if you attack now, not only will there be no oil and water, but you will also lose your hard-won men and horses in vain!"

"But Liu Cong only named the general to go!"

"Hmph, this despicable villain, I have funded so many of his soldiers and materials, not only did he not thank him, but also let me attack this barren land, it is really hateful, I know, he just hates me when I was on the edge of Luoyang, I left first, it is really hateful! Do I have to die on that sneak attack?! ”

"The general doesn't have to be angry, Liu Cong will only think of the general now when he has no soldiers to send!"

"No soldiers? Haha, just kidding, he, Liu Cong, is already a dignified monarch of the Han Kingdom, will he have no soldiers? ”

"He has just ascended the throne, and it is when people are panicking, how dare Liu Cong divide his troops and go elsewhere?"

"So he remembered me as a benefactor? I will definitely not go, I will do what he wants with me, it's a big deal, Lao Tzu is the opposite! Anyway, I will never attack the state! ”

Zhang Bin looked at Shi Le's appearance, and was a little secretly funny in his heart, if his lord really started a stubborn temper, he really had no way to deal with him!

Zhang Bin walked to the side of Shi Le's case, picked up the holy decree, read it carefully and silently a few times, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he thought about it.

Shi Le saw that Zhang Bin was looking at the holy decree for a long time, and he already had some doubts in his heart, and he asked tentatively: "Mengsun, do you have a clever plan?!" ”

Seeing Shi Le's question, Zhang Bin was not in a hurry to answer immediately, but chuckled a few times and said slowly: "There is a certain plan, let the lord come to a golden cicada to get out of the shell!" ”

Shile's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Zhang Bin looked at Shi Le's expectant eyes and smiled: "Liu Cang! ”

"Liu Cang?! You say Liu Cong's son, Liu Cang, the king of Hanoi?! ”

"Yes, it's him, as long as Liu Cang, the king of Hanoi, is willing to come forward, we can go naturally, maybe we can be a ...... of favors."

"Oh?! Why did Meng Sun say this?! ”

"My lord, the crown prince of the Han Kingdom today is not this Hanoi King Liu Cang, but Liu Cang has already become an adult, and his father Liu Cong has also ascended the throne as the emperor, but he is the eldest son but only one Hanoi king, and the crown prince throne at his fingertips has let the legacy of the first emperor, Liu Yi, the son of the Di people's Shan family, get it, do you say he can not be angry? Can you not hate?! ”

"Hate, of course hate, if I were Liu Cang, I would not only hate, but also hate my teeth!"

"What the lord said is true! And we have a rule in the Han country, that is, no matter what your background is, if you want to serve the public, you must have military merits ......."

"That's right! Mengsun, you are so right! If I can give up the task of seizing the entire state to Liu Can......"

"The main tolerance is not to let it, but to be robbed by Liu Cangqiang's ......"

"Hahahaha, what Meng Sun said, it's really shocking!"

Three days later, in Binh Duong City, Hanoi Palace

Liu Cang had just driven Shi Le's envoy away, and it was definitely blown away!

After Shi Le's envoy fled in embarrassment, Liu Cang smiled very proudly, and he hurriedly sent someone to call his henchman Jin Zhun over.

As soon as Jin Zhun arrived at the Hanoi Palace, he was stunned by Liu Can's excited words, and he didn't react for a long time Why Liu Cang was so happy!

I just vaguely heard what Liu Cang said about snatching a military merit from Shi Le's hands, and he had to immediately send troops to attack Jinyang, but what the hell was going on, but the second zhang monk was completely confused!

Liu Can's excited neck was a little red, he walked up to Jin Zhun, grabbed Jin Zhun's shoulders with both hands, and said excitedly: "Quick! Write a letter for Lonely! ”

Jin Zhun was a little confused, so he asked, "Twist?!" ”

"Yes, this king wants to ask the Holy Lord for orders to attack Liu Kun, collect and merge the state, and sweep away the heart disease that my Han Kingdom has always had!"

When Jin Zhun heard this, he could understand why Liu Cang was so excited, and his feelings were that he snatched the military order appointed by the emperor to Shi Le! Is this crazy?

Jin Zhun said with some fear: "King, this matter of sending troops to attack Liu Kun in Bingzhou, but the emperor personally issued an edict to all the ministers, why did he suddenly become a king to attack Liu Kun?!" ”

"Hahaha, Jin Zhun, don't you know, I'm not in charge of the supply of military rations for various armies? Therefore, Shi Le was sensible, and he came over to give me a gift first, so that when I was marching, I could give him more military rations, and in time! ”

Jin Zhun listened to Liu Can's words, and also felt that Shi Le was quite good at being a man, and knew the truth that the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, so he first came to give some gifts to Liu Cang, the king of Hanoi who was in charge of the military rations of various armies. ”

However, although Jin Zhun thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it, since Liu Cang robbed it all, could he still return it? What if you can really return it? Is he Liu Cang still Liu Cang?! ”

Jin Zhun, who understood this, began to think about how to draft this letter!

Jin Zhun secretly looked at Liu Cang, who was still excited, while writing, and shook his head secretly in his heart, if he can't hide his thoughts like this, such a person who doesn't have the discipline of a monarch and a minister will definitely not be able to make a big deal......

On the same night, Liu Cang, the monarch of the Han Kingdom, received the recital played by his son Liu Can, which he had not finished reading, and his heart was already furious, he had a straight face, looked around at the important ministers, and with a wave of his hand, he threw the recital in his hand fiercely!

Liu Cong stood up from his seat and scolded: "Shaft! Shaft! What a bastard! ”

However, although Liu Cong was angry, there was a trace of imperceptible joy in his eyes, after all, his son knew that he had fought for military merits, which was a good thing! ”

The ministers didn't know what was going on, but Liu Cong was suddenly so angry, which really frightened everyone, after all, this is an extraordinary time, I'm afraid that the uninteresting prince will jump out and rebel again, if that's really the case, I don't know how many innocent clans and ministers will be implicated......

Thinking of this, everyone held their breath, lowered their heads, and didn't dare to look at Liu Cong......

Liu Cong saw that after the ministers were angry, they lowered their heads one by one, and looked timid, and he was very proud, he just wanted these people to be afraid of him, only when he was afraid, would he not disagree......

However, there is one person who has no scruples and is not moved by Liu Cong's acting skills at all......

This person is Liu Yuan's widow, the imperial historian, Chen Yuanda!

When Liu Cong saw this person, he suddenly lost any interest, he waved his hand and motioned for all the people to retreat, after all, it was very late, and everyone was going back, and he had been summoning them at night recently, which was also a bit of a toss, but only when he saw them by his side and couldn't do anything, he could feel at ease, so he could only let them work harder......

Just as everyone was relieved to retire one by one, Liu Cong spoke again: "Changhong, you stay for a while, I have something to do and then you can discuss!" ”

Chen Yuanda saw that Liu Cong stopped him, and his heart moved slightly.

After everyone else left, only Liu Cong and Chen Yuanda were left in Liu Cong's palace!

Chen Yuanda didn't wait for Liu Cong to ask, and took the initiative to speak: "Your Majesty intends to let the King of Hanoi go to attack Liu Kun in Bingzhou?" ”

When Liu Cong heard Chen Yuanda's words, he was obviously stunned, he hadn't said it yet, how could this Chen Yuanda already know?

Liu Cong looked at Chen Yuanda strangely, he was really tired of Chen Yuanda's temper, but there was no way, it was this person, not only valued by the former emperor Liu Yuan, but also respected by everyone in the entire Xiongnu and Han countries! Even when he saw Chen Yuanda, he was afraid of three points, because when he was a child, Chen Yuanda taught himself knowledge, and he can be said to be an emperor!

Liu Cong looked at Chen Yuanda with interest, and asked straight to the point: "Changhong, how did you know that little cub Shiguang wanted to attack Jinyang Liu Kun?" ”

"Your Majesty, Liu Cang, the king of Hanoi, is not only a nobleman, but also a benevolent family, compared with the so-called prince Liu Yi, what is lacking is just a military merit, since Shi Le took the initiative to give in, why don't Your Majesty become the king of Hanoi, and also give him Shi Le a favor?"

"Huh? Are you saying that this incident was done by Schler on his own initiative? ”

"Yes, this state has just passed the locust plague, it can be said that it is a barren land, although Shi Le got a lot of good things from Jizhou, but also dedicated most of them to His Majesty as military funds, at this time let him go to the state and gnaw Liu Kun who is guarding in Jinyang, it is really a little unreasonable!"

When Liu Cong heard Chen Yuanda's words, his face twitched, this Chen Yuanda is really too direct, he can see all his thoughts!

Liu Cong's old face was a little red, but if he wanted him to admit that he was a little unkind, it was impossible, so Liu Cong pretended to cough a few times in embarrassment, then straightened his face and pretended to say: "Changhong, this emperor has just died, and we are in a hurry to send troops, isn't it good?!" ”

"Naturally, it's not good, the first emperor is dead, the new emperor ascends the throne, generally speaking, why do you have to wait for three years to make a big fight! It's just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that Bingzhou is too important to our Han Kingdom, since the locust plague from the sky has made Liu Kun so difficult, I think we can also help him Liu Kun, don't let him work so hard!"

Liu Cong saw that what Chen Yuanda said was interesting, and he was also happy for a while, and laughed and said: "Hahaha, Changhong, then let Liu Cang lead 30,000 troops to attack Jinyang City!" ”

"Yes, the minister will go to the draft!"

At the same time, and the state, Jinyang City, Liu Kun's mansion

Liu Kun kept walking back and forth in the conference hall, his brows furrowed, anxiously waiting for something.

After a while, Ling Husheng finally appeared!

Liu Kun didn't know how happy he was to see that the long-awaited Ling Husheng had finally returned!

He hurriedly welcomed Ling Husheng, who had been running all the way, to his seat and poured wine for him personally.

Ling Husheng is indeed a little flattered, as the confidant general of the Liu family, Liu Kun is already the third generation of the head of the family he serves!

Linghu Sheng said eagerly: "Lord, Tuoba Yilu has promised us to send troops to Tiefu Xiongnu and Baibu Xianbei!" ”

"Really?! That's great! That's great! Bingzhou is saved, Jinyang is saved! ”

"But ......."

"But what?!" Liu Kun asked eagerly, "Did they put forward any harsh conditions?" Linghu, you take a sip of wine first, rest for a while, and then talk."

"Thank you for your concern, the old minister is fine, the old minister sent Tuoba Xianbei this time to bring back a condition for the lord!"

"What conditions?!"

"Tuoba Yilu said that he wants to move Tuoba Xianbei's station to the Yanmen Pass area of Dai County!"

"What! The entire land of the north of the trail?! Is he going to connect Shengle and Daijun in their entirety? What a big ambition! No way! I will never say yes! ”

"Lord...... Can we have a choice?! ”

Hearing Ling Husheng's words, Liu Kun was stunned, yes, does he have a choice? Does he have the ability to refuse?! Even if he doesn't agree, this is a generation of male lords who unify the entire Tuoba Tripart, won't Tuoba Yilu take it upon himself?!

Ling Husheng looked at Liu Kun's pale face, and sighed for a while!

Ling Husheng comforted: "Lord, we have the Xiongnu and Han Kingdom in the south, the Tiefu Xiongnu and Baibu Xianbei in the north are constantly attacking us, even the bastard Wang Jun of Jizhou Assassin Shi is also coveting us and the state, the eldest prince Liu Yu has also died, Luoyang and our connection has been severed, Wang Mi has also blocked our road to Yanzhou and Yuzhou, we have no way to retreat and no way to go!" Lord! ”

"Hahahaha, Linghu, what kind of queen of Zhongshan Jing am I, even Liu Bei, who sells straw mats, has never encountered such humiliation as me, right?! Hahaha, you even want me to cut the ground! I can't do it! Linghu! ”

"Lord, endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky......"

"How to bear it? How to return? I have no way out, no way back! ”

"My lord, the temporary patience is just for a better time, although it seems that we have been beaten hard by Tuoba Yilu now, but they also have to pay a lot of combat power for us!"

"Linghu, I know what you said, it is precisely because of this plan that I let you go to Shengle to negotiate with Tuoba Yilu, but I didn't expect this Tuoba Yilu to be so ambitious!"

"Lord, the matter has come to this, when it is decided, if they can't get what they want, they may return to the Xiongnu Han State at any time with Tiefu Xiongnu and Baibu Xianbei, and at that time, it is impossible for us to exchange the hope of victory for a small price......"

"Hehe, Liu Yu persuaded me when he was alive, don't learn from Wang Jun to make deals with those Xianbei people, the so-called lesson of seeking skin with the tiger, I can be regarded as tasting it today!"

"My lord, if the eldest prince were still alive now, he would also agree with the lord's decision today! Please make a decision as soon as possible! ”

Liu Kun raised his head, his eyes had become red, he looked at the roof, and shouted: "Come on, take pen, ink, paper and inkstone!" I want to write a letter of recommendation to the imperial court and recommend Tuoba Yilu as the acting duke! ”

On the first day of August in 310 AD, Liu Cang, the king of Hanoi of the Han Kingdom, led a large army from Pingyang to Jinyang.

And at this moment, Liu Kun is fighting fiercely with Tuoba Yilu and Liu Hu of the Tiefu Huns, as well as Baibu Xianbei!

This time, Tuoba Yilu brought 20,000 iron horsemen from Shengle, and each of them was a good horse archer!

Although the Tiefu Xiongnu and Baibu Xianbei are also very strong, they are still vulnerable to the Tuoba Iron Cavalry, and the formation that was finally formed was torn apart by Tuoba Yilu's army in three or two clicks, and the battle situation was almost one-sided!

However, the deeper they went into the hinterland, the more they couldn't find Liu Hu's base camp, which made Tuoba Yilu and Liu Kun become a little impatient, after all, they had already received news from the Han State that Liu Cang, the king of Hanoi, had already led his troops to attack Jinyang!

Tuoba Yilu himself is a nomadic tribe, he knows very well that it is quite difficult to completely eliminate such a nomadic tribe, because there is no fixed residence, so where is Liu Hu's big tent, the base camp is there, you must first find Liu Hu's main force to eliminate the other party in one fell swoop, otherwise it will be meaningless for him to send troops this time!

But it will take a certain amount of time to find Liu Hu's main force, although Tuoba Yilu has already sent someone to put the eagle in the sky, but it will also take a lot of time!

Tuoba Yilu saw Liu Kun's anxiety, so he comforted: "Brother Liu, Liu Hu of Tiefu is your enemy, that is, my enemy, since you have fulfilled your promise, I will definitely fulfill my promise, help you eliminate these Tiefu and Baibu Xianbei, I suggest that you go back to Jinyang first, and after I eliminate these Tiefu Xiongnu and Baibu Xianbei, I will help you expel those Huns who attacked Jinyang!" What do you think?! ”

Liu Kun is indeed like Tuoba Yilu said, his mind is no longer on these Tiefu Xiongnu and Baibu Xianbei, Jinyang is his lair, if Jinyang is lost, then he will have nothing!

Liu Kun nodded subconsciously, and his eyes were also full of gratitude when he looked at Tuoba Yilu!

Liu Kun hugged his fists on the horse and said: "Brother Tuoba, then let's leave it alone, I will definitely hold Jinyang and wait for your reinforcements!" “

"Good! You are also waiting for my good news, I will definitely help you completely eliminate these damn Tiefu Xiongnu and Baibu Xianbei! “

"Good! See you in Jinyang! “

"Good! See you in Jinyang! ”

Battle of Jinyang No. 4: Do everything

August 10, 310 A.D

Jinyang City has been surrounded by Liu Cang's army, and because of the locust slaughter in the first three months, Jinyang City has already been ten households and nine empty, and now it is besieged by the Hun army, how can it be worse......

However, even in the face of such a situation, the people still supported Liu Kun, because even in such a bad situation, he still insisted on resisting, and there was no trace of abandoning the city and abandoning the people......

And the defenders who originally guarded Jinyang City were also yellow and thin because of the locust plague for three months, they stood in the wind, as if they would be blown away by the wind at any time, but even so, these defenders did not waver at all, they held spears in their hands, looked at the Huns who dared to attack, and held the city wall again and again, making the enemy pay a heavy price!

It's just these ordinary people, ordinary soldiers, who have been holding on to Jinyang City for seven days and seven nights!

In the past seven days, none of these people and defenders have ever descended from the city tower, and the only ones who have gone down to the city have basically fallen off the city wall after being killed by the enemy!

Liu Cang outside the city was riding on a horse, his face looked very scary, he really didn't expect that a small Jinyang City would be so difficult to fight, those defenders on the city wall obviously looked like they had no combat effectiveness, and they didn't want to encounter a crazy counterattack as soon as their men and horses went up!

The people from the headquarters brought out by Liu Cang this time suffered heavy casualties!

Liu Cang glanced at the herald beside him and ordered: "Let those Di people and Qi people give me up!" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Cang looked at those Di people who originally belonged to the crown prince Liu Yi, and his heart was greasy, his father didn't know what to think, he had to hand over these Di people who were uncomfortable no matter how he called them, and these people and miscellaneous beards sent by Shi Le were all unpleasant to look at, today! Just use them for consumables!

Of course, Liu Cong knew his father, Liu Cong's purpose of handing over these Di people to himself, Liu Cong hoped that Liu Cong could get the support of these Di people, after all, under the Shan Yu Taiwan system, the power of these Di people is really not small! However, he Liu Cang didn't take this kind of thing to heart at all, he always believed that in this world, only they slaughtered the Huns were the most noble, and as long as the other tribes and tribes saw the royal banner of their slaughter of the Huns, they would surrender in response, and they didn't have to think about those things that were too complicated!

And in Liu Cang's opinion, anyone who is not slaughtering various tribes is not his own person, and he will never become his own henchmen, these alien races can be sacrificed at any time, so this time, he is holding these people as consumables to consume!

Thinking of this, Liu Cang laughed proudly, and he shouted loudly in his heart: "One will be a success, hahahaha!" Minions! Use your death as a sign of loyalty to me! ”

This is how the battle is carried out, and human life is like the lowest thing, disappearing every second......

After another day and a night of hard fighting, the Hun army finally temporarily retreated, and the casualties on both sides were almost comparable, and there were countless broken hands and feet!

Liu Cang was very dissatisfied with this result, and he cursed loudly for these siege troops, which were mainly composed of Di people, and scolded them for being useless and incompetent!

But there was a general who couldn't bear such an insult, so he stood up and said loudly to Liu Cang: "King, how can there be such a siege? This is completely a method of killing 1,000 enemies and injuring 800 yourself! If you fight like this, if you attack the city like this, no number of people will be enough for you! ”

Liu Cang really didn't expect that there would be someone who dared to disobey him, and the grievances and anger that he couldn't attack Jinyang for many days all broke out at once!

Liu Cang yelled at the Di general: "Bastard, which tribe are you from? How dare you contradict this king? Don't you and your clan want to live?! ”

"The last general's surname is Shan, Mingtian, if the king feels that the last general has collided with the king, the king can kill the last general now, and the last general has no complaints, but the king! This battle really can't be fought like this anymore! ”

"Hahahaha, do you still need you to teach this king to act?! Come on, drag this bastard out and cut it down for me! Hang his head outside the big tent to make an example! If there is such a person, there will be no forgiveness! ”

After a while, this general named Shan Tian was killed, and his head was hung high in the camp of Liu Cang's army to deter those who disobeyed orders!

However, what Liu Cang didn't expect was that it was precisely because of his extreme move that he buried the disaster in the future!

After Liu Cang killed that Shan Tian, he was still angry in his heart, but he still couldn't think of any way to deal with this Jinyang City?

Liu Cang regretted it a little, he should have brought Jin Zhun out, that kid has a lot of ideas, there must be many ways to deal with this Jinyang City, it's a pity, it's a pity, it's too late to transfer him over now, because Liu Can's heart, until now, he also hopes to be able to fight quickly! It's been delayed for so long now, it's really a little upset!

Coincidentally, Wang Ping, another favorite of Liu Cang, had just escorted a batch of grain to Liu Cang's army, and as soon as he finished counting the amount with the military grain manager, Wang Ping hurriedly went to ask his little prince for credit.

At this time, Liu Cang was sitting in his tent and thinking hard about how to deal with this Jinyang City tomorrow, and his head hurt and there was no good way. ”

As soon as Liu Cang heard that Wang Ping had arrived, he immediately smiled, this Wang Ping is also a wonderful person, when he sent out the army, he was afraid that the march would be too hard, so he thought of a way to let Wang Ping be the grain supervisor and help him escort the grain and grass, in fact, it is to let Wang Ping mix a military merit in the army, and now he is in a bad mood because he can't think of a good plan, this Wang Ping is in a timely manner, just so that he can give himself some ideas, find some fun, maybe this mood is good, he can come up with some wonderful ideas? !

Thinking of this, Liu Cang said to the outside of the tent: "Quick! Let him get in! ”

As soon as Wang Ping heard that Liu Cang asked him to get in, he immediately disregarded his shamelessness and rolled to the ground, and just rolled into Liu Cang's Chinese army tent with a grunt!

When Liu Cang saw Wang Ping like this, he immediately smiled and leaned back, and the earlier depression had been swept away!

Wang Ping was very happy to see Liu Cang appear like this, so he rolled on the ground a few more times! The action is still very chic!

Liu Cang really hadn't laughed so happily for a long time, tears were about to burst into laughter, he waved his hand, and scolded with a smile: "You damn doglegs, get up, get up, get up, the lonely king just has something important to ask you!" ”

Wang Ping saw that Liu Cang had something to ask him, so he immediately got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body with his hand, and asked tentatively: "The king is worried about how to take Jinyang City?!" ”

"Yes, the walls of Jinyang City are really high and thick, I didn't expect this Liu Kun to be really a talent, when he came to Bingzhou, it was also deserted, I didn't expect that it was only a few years, and this Jinyang City was built so strong! Hey, what a tough bone! ”

"Why doesn't the king dig the tunnel?!"

"In the usual way?! No, if you want to use their tactics, how can you show that I'm different? Even if I win, those old guys in Pingyang City will point fingers at me and make irresponsible remarks, I don't want to be told that I took Jinyang City because of the help of the Di people! ”

"King, how is this the way to do it!? It's been used this way since ancient times! ”

"Hmph, it's because people have used it since ancient times, the lonely king just doesn't want to use it, and it takes too much time to dig the tunnel, my father ascended the throne not long ago, if I delay here for too long, Pingyang will be empty, and my Han Kingdom will be very disadvantageous, you can think of other ways, this matter of digging tunnels, there is no need to say it again!"

"Yes, yes, why don't you use a stone?"

"Hey, don't mention this stone-throwing, I came out in a hurry this time, I didn't bring any catapult, and this Liu Kun is really too cunning, he actually set fire to several large forests around me one step earlier, this Jinyang City is completely impossible to take materials, and then go to a distance to collect materials, I am worried that I will fall into Liu Kun's strategy!"

"Ahh Liu Kun is so vicious?! ”

"Hmph, not to mention viciousness, he even burned the dung and poured it on the soldiers I climbed up the wall, this thing is really disgusting and terrible, even if the burned skin is bandaged, it can't heal, it's too vicious!"

Hearing this, Wang Ping was also a little speechless, he never thought that this Liu Kun would be able to use such vicious methods, it seems that the battle columns he saw from the ancient books are useless, hey, it's a pity, why didn't he read more books in the first place? Sure enough, when the book is used, there is less hatred!

However, before Wang Ping could sigh for long, there was another cry outside the barracks!

It turned out that some displaced people from the state had mistakenly broken into the war zone and were captured by the men and horses sent out by Liu Cang to patrol, and they were crying and shouting!

Liu Cang was a little disgusted and irritable when he heard these voices, and was about to give an order for people to kill all these damn homeless people, when Wang Ping suddenly thought of a brilliant idea!

Wang Ping's eyes turned and turned, and his heart was a little empty, but he finally thought of such a clever plan, if he didn't tell Liu Cang, it would be a pity!

Liu Cang noticed that Wang Ping was about to speak and stopped, and asked impatiently: "Come on, have you thought of any way?!" ”

When Wang Ping heard Liu Cang's question, he seemed a little hesitant, and did not immediately offer a plan as usual......

Liu Cang was already upset, and when he saw that this Wang Ping didn't answer immediately after his questioning, his anger suddenly became bigger, and he roared angrily: "If there is a fart, let it go!" ”

Wang Ping saw that Liu Cang was already angry, and the trace of unbearability in his heart was also frightened, and he hurriedly said: "If the king wants to take Jinyang City with ingenuity, Weichen has a plan, but it is too bad!" ”

"Too bad? Hahaha, what's the idea? The lonely king likes bad things, just say it, and the lonely king will forgive you without sin! ”

"King, as soon as this plan comes out, we may not be able to lose a soldier or a general!"

When Liu Cang heard this, his interest became even stronger, and he asked urgently, "What is the clever plan?!" Say it, say it with the Lone King! ”

"O king, there are many displaced people in this land, and we can ...... them."

"What did you say?? What do you mean?! You mean arresting all the homeless?! What's the point of catching them? ”

"Let them go to the siege!"

"Huh?! Hahaha! It's a little interesting, it's a little interesting, Wang Ping, Wang Ping, you're really a ghost! ”

"The king praised it falsely, where did Wang Ping have any good ideas, but he just happened to say what the king thought in his heart!"

"Yes, you're right, the lonely king also thinks so, yes, I just need to arrest all the displaced people in this vicinity and let them attack the city, which can not only reduce the loss of our soldiers and horses, but also deal a heavy blow to the hearts of the soldiers and people in Jinyang City, hahahaha, sure enough, the soldiers are not tired of cheating!"

Wang Ping saw that Liu Cang was so happy, so he said cleverly: "King, this is the soldier who surrenders without a fight in Sun Tzu's Art of War!" If those old guys in Pingyang City knew that the king could have such and such means when he sent troops for the first time, they would definitely be impressed by you, oh, no, no, no, no, they are subservient! ”

At this moment, Liu Cang smiled very happily, and he was very, very presumptuous, and the entire military tent was filled with Liu Can's laughter!

On the second day, the Huns did not immediately surround and attack Jinyang City as before, which made the Jinyang defenders, who had been exhausted for the past few days, get a certain amount of rest, but such abnormal actions also made Liu Kun and others more nervous.

Because they don't know what tricks these Huns want to play!

What made Liu Kun and others feel even more unbelievable was that for two days, the Huns not only did not come to attack the city, but retreated a certain distance, but there was still no sign of attacking the city!

In this way, there was no attack the next night, but Liu Kun's heart became heavier and heavier!

The next morning, the horn of the Xiongnu camp sounded, and the people and defenders of the entire Jinyang City heard it, and they knew that this was the time when the Huns were about to start attacking again, and all the people were once again ready to resist and meet these damned Huns to the death, and the scene that appeared in front of them made everyone silent!

A large amount of sand and dust came out of the distance outside the city, and it was not until they got closer that everyone realized that it was a group of homeless people surrounded by a group of Hun soldiers, all of them were unarmed men, women and children, and many of them were babies held in their arms!

The Hun cavalry took whips and ferociously swung at the unarmed homeless, driving these poor people to Jinyang City.

The hearts of the soldiers and militiamen at the head of the city were tightly entangled, especially when these homeless people saw the city, they no longer needed the Huns to drive them, so they rushed to the city gate in a swarm, and began to take the initiative to storm the city gate when no one opened the city gate for them!

They can't help it, they have to live, the sound of crying and screaming, mixed with the screams of babies and children who can't tell whether they are babies or children, and the desperate screams of women......

As soon as the Huns behind them saw someone withdrawing, they would go forward and hack him to death, and then continue to drive the other outcasts to storm the city gates!

At this moment, where is the way for these displaced people to survive? There is only this Jinyang City, but once the door is opened, there will be an army of the Huns, which is indeed vicious, and extremely vicious......

Liu Kun's face became more and more pale, he looked at these homeless people, and his heart was also dripping blood, but if he opened the city now and let these homeless people into the city, the consequences would be really unimaginable!

Liu Kun's reason told him that he must not be emotional now, and the decision he made now would affect the lives of the people of the entire Jinyang City and all the soldiers, but what should these unarmed people do?

Below the city, some of the soldiers who resisted the city gate had begun to become agitated, because it was impossible for anyone to be indifferent to such a scene......

"Pass on my generals, if anyone dares to leave their posts without permission and open the city gate to let the exiles in, they will immediately correct the law on the spot!" , Liu Kun's face was a little distorted, how much perseverance and determination does it take to give such an order?!

The herald had already arrived at the city gate, and he and the soldiers around him who had come to enforce the law all drew their cold blades, and the cold light on these cold blades suddenly made those who had already developed sympathy retreat......

Liu Kun stood on the city wall, looking at the displaced people who were still attacking the city wall, Liu Kun's heart was constantly dripping blood......

Suddenly, Liu Kun raised his arms and shouted: "Everyone in the city has listened, leave all your children behind, we will raise them for you, and we will tell them why you died!" Right now! The adults all turned around, you saw that the Huns behind were not, drag them down, give us time to open the city to receive your children, if I see an adult who wants to storm the city gate, then we will not accept any more children ......! ”

Liu Kun's words were cold and emotionless, but they did work.

The homeless people heard the orders repeated by the sergeants at the head of the city, and their desperate eyes flashed with hope, and the parents were saying goodbye to their children, and all the adults, whether they had children or not, all turned around, and they looked at the Hun cavalry unarmed, but there was no longer fear......

The Huns did not expect such a thing to happen, originally their little prince's clever plan as soon as he said it, he was impressed by everyone, and he wanted to wait for the city gate to open and go in to burn and loot it, and now he saw the crazy appearance of these homeless people desperate for death, but made his position a little messy.

Liu Cang in the distance was also staring at the battlefield, he looked at the scene in front of him indifferently, and did not have any emotional fluctuations, for him, war was meant to kill people, and on the battlefield, anything that could be used, including people's psychology, as long as they could win, it didn't matter how many people died, and it didn't matter how these people would die......

This is probably hell on earth, on the one hand, for the poor homeless people who are trying to fight for the children's time to enter the city, and on the other hand, they are enjoying the pleasure of killing the Xiongnu army, which is one of the true portrayals of the Hu people when they invaded the Central Plains in the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty!

The war is still going on, the killing has not stopped, and the Huns are still bringing in displaced people from all over the place, but there are no children in the crowd anymore......

Liu Can's purpose is obvious, he wants to make the defenders and people of Jinyang completely collapse, he wants them to use the weapons they use to defend their homeland with their own hands, ruthlessly kill these innocent homeless, and whenever Liu Cang sees the defenders of Jinyang City shooting every homeless in pain, I don't know why, Liu Cang will laugh extremely happy!

Liu Cang's goal was achieved, the entire Jinyang City became silent, everyone's eyes were full of despair, and the defenders who were still shooting the homeless people, their conscience had become numb, until they no longer had any more arrows to kill......
